You knowe the charackter & the whole scope Ere you peruse one worde, I make no questyon. But reade it, doe, that whyle you seeme to reede You may make readye for another worlde. Why doe you studye? flatter not your selfe With hope of an excusse. _Gab_. You are not madd! _Gan_.

I meant a bonefyer made of wytt & lust; One nourryshes another. Have you doone? Does any thynge you reade allay your coldnes. _Gab_. You thynke thys letter myne? _Gan_. I doe indeede, And will with horror to thy wanton thoughts Make thee confes it, that thy soule beinge easd May fly away the sooner. _Gab_. What you-- _Gan_. Fond woman, doe not trust me, there is deathe And undyssembld ruyne in my words. Make your prayrs quycklye. |
